Is this possible with the DropMenu snippet?

Hi everybody!

I already made some standard menus with DropMenu and it works without problems. No problems with the styling or so. But now I would like to made a divided menu. But now i have problems with DropMenu

The situation:

I have 4 Main sites (MAIN 1-4). The first one have 2 subsites (SUB MAIN 1, SUB MAIN 2). And the first subsite have 4 other subsites (SUB 1.1-1.4).

I have a template which have a top bar what only contains the RED sites. In my template code i insert this snippet call:


The subsites of the RED main sites should be displayed in a seperate container in the template. And this is my problem.
How can i do this?

Three examples:

1) The active site SUB 1.2


2) And here is the site SUB MAIN 2 active


3) And when the main site MAIN 3 is active it should looks like this


I try it with this call:

This works for the example 2 and 3 but not for the first example. But that is logical

Can anybody help me or give a brainstorm?
Thx alot!!!

wayfinder has now replaced dropmenu.

First, use Wayfinder instead of Dropmenu to create your menus. Dropmenu is deprecated.

Next, in your template, make your submenu snippet call like this:
[tt][!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]!][/tt]

This will tell Wayfinder to build its menu based the active pages top level folder (i.e. Main1, Main2, Main3, Main4).

Your top nav snippet call can look like this:
[tt][!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`1`!][/tt]

NOTE: The submenu call must be called un-cached [tt][!...!][/tt] in order for the snippet call nested in a snippet call to work. It is a known issue that should be fixed in 9.7.

If you don’t have UltimateParent installed get it here:

Hi!

Thanks for your fast answer!
Yes it’s right. I see that only the Wayfinder snippet come with the new release but i think i try it with DropMenu.

But OK. I will try it with Wayfinder. I hope it is as easy to style and config as the DropMenu
I will the give you a feedback...

Bye bye

Wayfinder is infinitely easier to customize from an output perspective, and therefore much easier to style than DropMenu.
